The Beat Goes On - The Buddy Rich Big Band

Chorus:

The beat goes on, the beat goes on Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain

La de da de de, la de da de da Charleston was once the rage, uh huh

History has turned the page, uh huh

The mini skirts the current thing, uh huh

Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh

Chorus

The grocery store’s the super mart, uh huh

Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh

And men still keep on marching off to war

Electrically they keep a baseball score

Chorus

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce

Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss

The cars keep going faster all the time

Bums still cry hey buddy, have you got a dime

Chorus
